I have been paying close attention to the anti transgender laws being passed in the midwest east coast and even idaho. These are clearly an opening salvo of a war against our people. This is remin8scent of early 30's nazi Germany, before krystal nacht. I say let us not allow history to repreat itself. I live in California, a so called t4ans friendly state, but already this year have had a hate crime purpotrated against me, a man sucker punched me for beiñg transgender, and have been banned from many stores for "not wearing pants/ wearing a dress" (Trader Joes and Vons among them. Well my point is that i am no longer taking this sitting down. I am not going to wait for them to make me wear some sort of symbol identifying me as transgender, then consolodate us into a "ghetto", like warsaw, only to give them time to come up with a plan to liquidate us. I cant tell you what to do but the government and law enforcement are completely useless, we must ready 9urselves to defend our own lives and freedoms. I ßugest taking up arms, to defend ourselves, which is our right under the fifth amendment of the constitution of what is quickly becoming a fascist nation, and become ready to defend our lives and our freedoms against a country, that is quickly becoming as anti transgender as Iran or Russia. If things are left to evolve nàturally, without intervention, i firmly believe that we are destinded for imprisonment or death, and i myself, aint going out like that. Warning to all transphóbes, this transgender woman is armed and dangerous and ready to deffend my life liberty and persuit of happyness with violence if nessisary. The revolution needs to start now, these folks have obviously forgot about the stone wall riots and need a potent reminder that we are here, were queer, were trans, and will not be denided our constitutional or human rights, even if we have to shed blood to do so. Of course they will call us terrorist. However, King George the 3rd, King of England considered George Washington, John Adams, and Benjamine Franklin (just to name a few) to be terrorist. Unfortunately a few of we transgenders are going to have to bleed and die for the rest to be truely free. Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. If it is i who have to die, i would consider it the highest honor to die for my people. And in closing, i quote the great patriot, Thomas Paine, "Give me liberty, or give me death!". Thank you and be safe and keep an eye out for people who are obviously against us. I thirst for peace, but all 8 can see on the horizon isviolence and war. Good Night, and God bless us and keep us safe from our enemies who seek to destroy us. Jamie Macnay, American and Transgender Patriot
